where are your fletched arrows going? I was always thought that you bare shaft test against fletched arrows to know what the arrows are doing. at least we know your nock point is good.

compared to a fletched arrow:

BARE SHAFTS GROUPING LEFT

Reason: Over spined (stiff)

Remedy: Heavier point, or thinner side plate, or longer shaft, or switching from a Dacron string to a DF-97 or Fast Flight, or weaker arrows.


BARE SHAFTS GROUPING RIGHT

Reason: Under spined (weak)

Remedy: Lighter point. or thicker side plate, or shorter shaft, or switch from a DF-97 or FF string to Dacron, or stiffer arrows.

Yep if they are hitting that straight and grouping with your fletched arrows than you are definately in tune.
